Rapper J. Cole addressed rumors of retirement during a new episode of Talk With Flee, hosted by Cam’Ron, just days after releasing his highly anticipated album, The Fall Off. Fans have speculated that the project might mark the end of Cole’s recording career, but he offered a measured response. When Cam’Ron’s assistant Taylor asked if he was seriously considering stepping away from hip-hop, Cole left the door open for the future. J. Cole originally promoted his latest album as his last for over 10 years. “If that’s my last album, I’m cool,” he said. “If I get inspired in a year, two years, five years, ten years to do another album, I’m not going to fight the feeling.” J. Cole speaks on whether he’s actually retiring with ‘The Fall-Off’ “If that’s my last album, I’m cool. If I get inspired in a year, two years, five years, ten years to do another album, I’m not going to fight the feeling… Because of what happened two years ago, I’m very… pic.twitter.com/XprsB2qogI — Kurrco (@Kurrco) March 25, 2026 Cole explained that recent experiences have rekindled his creative drive. “Because of what happened two years ago, I’m very inspired right now,” he added. “I fell back in love with this sh*t.” While he didn’t elaborate on the event, the statement made clear that his passion for music remains strong. Rapper J Cole Answers If He’s Really Retiring After The Fall Off The conversation struck a chord with Cam’Ron, who summed up the moment bluntly: “Basically, what she’s saying is, you can’t retire, n***a.” The comment highlighted the perception among fans and peers that Cole’s career is defined by cycles of inspiration rather than a definitive endpoint. For many in hip-hop, retirement often signals a pause rather than a permanent exit, and Cole’s remarks follow that tradition. The Fall Off could serve as a closing chapter, but he isn’t closing the door on future projects. Fans can take comfort in Cole’s honesty. In the eyes of the hip-hop community, J. Cole’s potential retirement is less a farewell and more a promise that creativity will guide his next move.

OnlyFans star Sophie Rain and rapper-turned-influencer Bhad Bhabie — whose real name is Danielle Bregoli — sparked online chatter after a shopping trip that looked like preparation for their upcoming collaboration. Video obtained by TMZ shows the pair browsing inside a CVS store in Tarzana, a neighborhood in Los Angeles.

Music mogul 50 Cent’s latest investment in Shreveport, Louisiana, benefits area’s nonprofits. The G-Unit Films and Television founder delivered a major donation Monday morning in Shreveport, directing hundreds of thousands of dollars to nonprofits serving the region. The announcement took place around 10:15 a.m., drawing community leaders and residents from across northwest Louisiana. The funding will support nine organizations operating in Shreveport and nearby Bossier City. Each nonprofit focuses on programs that assist families, youth development, and survivors of domestic violence. Jackson, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, said the donation fulfills a pledge he made while producing a recent documentary examining domestic violence allegations involving Sean “Diddy” Combs. “I said I would donate proceeds to domestic violence and sexual assault victims,” Jackson told attendees. “I keep my word.” The hip-hop entrepreneur also explained why he selected Shreveport as the location for the charitable investment. “I didn’t say where I would make the donations,” he said. “I like Shreveport.” The organizations include Gingerbread House, The Fountain’s Community Development Corporation, Families Helping Families Region 7, the Elle Foundation, Moms on a Mission, Best 13, the MLK Community Development Corporation, the MLK Neighborhood Association, and the Northwest Louisiana Youth Golf and Education Foundation. Rapper 50 Cent Donates Hundreds Of Thousands To 9 Nonprofits Across Shreveport-Bossier, Louisiana Local leaders say the contribution will help strengthen community programs throughout the region. Shreveport City Council member Tabatha Taylor said Jackson’s involvement reflects a deeper commitment to the city. “It is a commitment he made when he chose Shreveport, Louisiana,” Taylor said. “Economic development matters, but people must also feel supported and whole.” One group receiving support, the Martin Luther King Jr. Neighborhood Association, was awarded $30,000 to expand educational and outreach programs. Volunteer Bennie Dotie said the timing of the donation felt meaningful. “I feel like it was God-sent,” Dotie said. “When he says all roads lead to Shreveport, this shows why those roads matter.” Jackson has expanded business ventures in Louisiana in recent years, including television and film production. His latest philanthropic move now places Shreveport and Bossier at the center of his growing presence in the region.

Rumors of a tense exchange between Usher and Justin Bieber at a glitzy Oscars afterparty spread fast online. However, rapper and radio host DaBrat says the gossip ballooned far beyond reality. The speculation followed an invite-only celebration hosted by Beyoncé and Jay-Z after the Academy Awards. The party took place at Chateau Marmont, a longtime celebrity hotspot. Several entertainment outlets claimed Usher and Bieber clashed during the soirée. Some reports suggested the moment nearly turned physical. Others described a heated verbal dispute between the former mentor and his superstar protégé. DaBrat quickly pushed back on those claims. Speaking on The Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the rapper said the alleged confrontation never matched the dramatic headlines. “I spoke to Usher and he said this is an exaggeration of a conversation,” she explained during the broadcast. Her comments cooled speculation that had dominated social media for days. Online posts framed the encounter as a major fallout between the two artists. Early reports cited unnamed sources who claimed Usher approached Bieber with “energy and anger.” Those claims fueled viral debates across entertainment blogs and fan forums. Still, DaBrat insisted the narrative ignored the deeper history between the singers. Rapper DaBrat Claims Heated Exchange Between Usher & Justin Bieber At Oscars Afterparty Didn’t Happen “He’s been nothing but supportive of plenty of issues Justin Bieber has faced over the years,” she said. Usher famously discovered Bieber in 2007 after the Canadian teenager posted cover videos on YouTube. The clips sparked a fierce industry bidding war. Usher ultimately partnered with manager Scooter Braun to guide the young singer’s career. The mentorship helped launch one of the biggest pop careers of the 2010s. Bieber later moved to Atlanta to work closely with Usher during his early development. Their public appearances have become rare in recent years. The pair last appeared together in 2021 at a Los Angeles Lakers game. Questions resurfaced in 2024 when Usher invited Bieber to join his Super Bowl LVIII halftime performance. Bieber declined the offer. Still, DaBrat insists there is no feud. “Justin is on his own journey dealing with his own reality that he created,” she said. “Usher wishes him the best and they have no hostility.” “They definitely love each other,” she added. “People see something small and run with it.”

A’ja Wilson and Bam Adebayo are basketball’s “Power Couple.” Since going public with their relationships last year, the two have been seen at each other’s games. ​Speaking with Vogue, Wilson expressed how connecting with Adebayo has been a game-changer for her life. ​‘I’m in love. But I also have to credit Bam because he loves me properly. I think that doesn’t get talked about a lot,” Wilson said. “He loves me on my days when I don’t know if I love myself. “And he does it in a way that’s not love-bombing. It’s more, ‘What do you need?’ Granted, he’s attractive, yes. But the real reason is that he just knows how to love me properly. And my parents like him.” ​Wilson also spoke on the need for the WNBA to properly compensate the league’s players just before the new CBA agreement was reached. ​”This is something that we need to stand on,” Wilson said to me of the negotiations while they were going on. “For real this time. This isn’t just like, ‘Oh, I want the million-dollar contract.’ This is for the generations after me. I don’t have a problem sitting at the table until we get what we want and get what we deserve.” View this post on Instagram ​She also shared how she met Beyoncé for the first time and how she’ll never forget. ​“Beyoncé is amazing. Now, when I see her, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I met that lady. Get out of the way, everybody.’ Nothing else matters,” ​Wilson then spoke about how she formed lifelong bonds of sisterhood in her sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha. I am, like, so grateful for the sisterhood that I formed in college through AKA, only because it allowed me to be a woman. It allowed me to be a young girl, because sometimes being a student athlete, you’re kind of trapped in this world of just, like, gym, class, gym, class, like, that was it.” ​“But when I gained my 60 sisters, I got an opportunity to actually enjoy the… college side of it…,” she added. “And so, as I’ve gotten older and I’ve become a leader… I have to credit AKA and our sisterhood when it comes to that.”

I’m my own person outside of my relationship as well. I don’t want to make that the forefront of my existence, my career. I got a man at home, I’m happy and I’m well taken care of, and that’s about all anyone needs to know.” View this post on Instagram As previously reported, Latto announced her upcoming album, Big Mama, with a huge reveal that she is pregnant. “BIG MAMA (the album) 5/29.

50 Cent trolls Usher after he defended Diddy in a recent interview. As previously reported, during a recent conversation with Jabari Young for Forbes’ The Enterprise Zone, Usher says he doesn’t have anything ill to say about Diddy. “I think certain people are prosecuted and maybe not recognized for the greatness that they offer,” Usher said. “I don’t have anything negative to say about Sean Combs. My experience was not what the world has seen and how he’s been, you know, misrepresented.” Usher continued, “I’m not saying that every man is perfect,” he explained. “I’m not saying that all of us don’t have flaws, but I can’t with any sense of humanity not recognize the valuable contributions that this man made for us as Black entrepreneurs, for us as people who transition culture and ideas into something that’s tangible. So many people benefited from what he created. And I acknowledge that. That’s why I see him as legacy.” 50 Cent caught wind of the comments, and trolled Usher via Instagram. “Usher like..I don’t want people to know what he did to my a*s. I’m a grown man now my a*s is off limits. LOL” View this post on Instagram Usher has yet to respond to 50 as of yet. Combs is currently serving a 50-month sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution Fort Dix on charges related to transportation for prostitution. This development continues to shape public discussion around his career and legacy.

Nicki Minaj has reportedly been “shut out” of the 2026 Met Gala due to her “loud and unapologetic” behavior on and off-stage. The annual event, scheduled for May 4 at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is overseen by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, who curates its high-profile guest list. According to reports, Minaj’s absence follows a series of public controversies and industry tensions. The update on the Grammy Award-winning rapper’s banning comes from from Naughty But Nice‘s Rob Shuter. “Nicki’s invitations didn’t just slow down — they vanished,” he said ahead of the event. “Hollywood stopped returning her calls. This isn’t subtle anymore. She’s been shut out.” “There’s an invisible wall around her now,” the insider said. “And no one wants to be seen opening the gate.” Minaj has been a reoccurring attendee to the star-studded event, wearing head turning fashion looks. Sources indicate that Minaj’s recent political statements and appearances have contributed to the situation. A notable moment cited was her appearance at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2025, where she spoke about political figures and addressed her past views, stating, “It’s ok to change your mind.” “That was it,” a source said. “Hollywood doesn’t forgive this kind of alignment — especially when it’s loud and unapologetic. In December, Minaj took aim at California Governor Gavin Newsom, slammed transgender healthcare for minors, and made other controversial outbursts. She then continued boasting about President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance. In January, Minaj called herself President Trump’s “number one fan.” The rapper, who once encouraged her gay fans to “be brave,” has switched stances to align herself with a party that actively tries to erase DEI programs and push legislation that undermines the rights of LGBTQIA+ students. Her ongoing public dispute with Roc Nation, – primarily centered on its founder JAY-Z and CEO Desiree Perez, have also contributed to her exclusion from the annual event. “Between the politics and the Roc Nation war, nobody wants to touch this,” another insider said. “There’s no formal ban — just a collective step back.” Minaj last attended the Met Gala in 2025, wearing a custom Thom Browne design. The 2026 theme, “Costume Art,” will focus on fashion as a sculptural and embodied art form, with a dress code encouraging creative interpretation of clothing and the body.
